Chapter 11 Analeas POV

Today it was Kelly's turn to get the beating. I hated watching kelly and Stephane get beaten up, and just helplessly standing there. I was just relieved that I hadn't got beaten yet. I was so scared for kelly but she seemed like she didn't care, but from how I've seen her act and what she told me I new that she did.

I decided to have a shower early to try and clear all my thoughts. I walked into the small bathroom and put my dark blue towel on the long silver pole across the other side of the bathroom. I still hadn't given up the fact that I want to at least try and escape.

I opened the small cupboard door that I had opened yesterday and looked again for something, anything that would help me escape. I felt around for a while but still couldn't find anything. I sighed and pulled my hand out.

Just as I was closing the door I saw a glimpse of white cardboard. I put my hand back in there and pulled out a small white box. it was medication. I could maybe somehow give him a overdose or something I thought to myself. but how would I get him to take it. I just put the box back and closed the cupboard door. just as I closed it I herd Stephane. "hey Analea are you okay In there. we couldn't hear the water running."

"Yes I'm fine I'm just going in now". I replied back before opening the shower door and turning on the hot water. I stayed in the shower for quite a long time like I always do, and than quickly got dressed. I was wearing a dark pink long top and some black tights. kelly had given it to me and said that this was one of the outfits that he brought down here for her.

It felt like I was in that bathroom for hours. I walked out to where kelly and Stephane were sitting and chatting away. I couldn't believe that they always talked like they were a coffee shop, discussing plans for a company or something. They always laughed and had smiles on their faces.

I just sat down next to kelly with my knees up to my head. all I wanted to do was escape. but the thought that was creeping me out the most was, I swear that I've seen Shane somewhere before. just his face. it looked extremely familiar.

But of course I didn't tell kelly or Stephane any of this. I know kelly might understand but Stephane, I have to be carful with her.

I knew that Kelly knew better than to try and escape but it seemed like there was something holding her back.

Just as I was about to fall asleep listening to my thoughts. I herd the door up stairs slam shut. I knew Shane was coming down. I herd him walk down each step until he was at the cellar door. I cringed my eyes tight and waited for him to enter.

He slammed the cellar door shut and walked in. he came closer to us and than put a huge plate of chicken on the ground. kelly and Stephane's mouths just hung wide open. than he put three napkins down and placed an amount of chicken on each one.

"Now girls". he started. as soon as he spoke I my whole body flinched. "you better be dam great full that you get a big chicken all to yourselves." than he handed up a napkin each. "this is yours Stephane, this is yours kelly, and um, Analea this is yours."

He walked closer to the door and picked up the big chicken plate before slamming the cellar door and making his way up the stairs.

I couldn't believe it. he had actually talked to us. And more importantly he didn't beat kelly. I was really surprised though. although he has looked really mad the last couple of days he hasn't beaten anyone.

My stomach kept rumbling obviously wanting food. I took a bite out of my chicken. it tasted pretty good considering what we usually get down here.

We continued eating for a while before kelly and Stephane decided that they were going to rest. kelly said that she had felt a little dizzy and wanted to just relax.

I laid there staring up at the roof. although it was dark in here, I could still see really well. I have gotten used to the lighting amount. I wanted to go home but more than anything I just wanted to see the three most important people in my life. scarlet, Oscar, and grandmother. I missed them all so much.

I felt a wet tear slowly roll down my cheek. I was sore all over my body and I felt weak. I needed to go home!

I slowly stood up from my bed and stumbled over to my mums bedroom. it was 6:19. we were going searching for Analea, like we did everyday.

I went to my mums room and knocked on her door. "mum we better go now, the more time we get to look the better."

"Okay I'll be down in a minute". she replied.

I turned around and started walking to the kitchen. I got there and my nine year old sister zarah was sitting eating cereal. "why are you up so early?" I asked.

"Hey look Oscar I miss Analea a lot and I want to help find her."

"Whatever" I mumbled as I opened the pantry. I took out two mussily bars and handed one to Zarah. "you'll need this. knowing you you'll probably get hungry as soon as we get in the car." I teased.

Zarah grabbed the bar without saying anything and went to her room.

A minute later mum came out of her room. "lets get going" she said as she walked to the front door. I just followed her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have been searching for hours now, but of course still no sign of Analea. We called the police and asked if they had found anything. but sadly the answer was no.

We started driving home. it was almost 9:30 and we were all tired. although I wanted to continue searching I knew that I needed some sleep so I could remain searching tomorrow.

We all laid on the ground staring up at the roof, not daring to say a word. I decided to break the silence. "I'm going to get a drink. does anyone else want one?" I asked as I slowly stood up.

I turned my gaze to kelly. her face was pale and he eyes were stuck to the ceiling. Stephane was by her side. "hey Analea kelly is really sick do you think you can bring her some water?"

I just nodded and walked over to the bathroom. I opened the cupboard door and pulled out two plastic cups.

After I filled them both up with water I took them into where kelly and Stephane were. I handed one cup to Stephane and I started gulping down the other.

I sat back down on the floor and stared up at the roof. I took another glance at kelly. she looked so sick, and that just made me want to get out of here more than ever before.
